Audiofile Engineering

Sound editing used to be physical.

Tape loops. Timing marks. Machines held in sync by patience and nerve.

Watching Delia Derbyshire at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop is a reminder that audio tools are never neutral. They shape what we hear, what we try, and what we believe is possible.

We’re working on something new at Audiofile, and we keep coming back to this lineage: editing as listening, engineering as composition, tools built close to the sound.

More later.
